I thought when I improved my health habits this year that I’d have more energy than I’d know what to do with, but that, regrettably, has not been so.
Last Monday I got back from a 4-day business trip, not to Spain or Asia, but to New Orleans. After the trip, I couldn’t seem to pump enough fluids into myself, and just going to work, taking nourishment and sleeping was more than enough activity.
This was school vacation week, so yesterday, I picked up the kids for an overnight at the local Holiday Inn. I figured we could take in a ball game and/or maybe a ride to Battleship Code, but we decided to just enjoy the pool, spend some time at a nearby playground and take our meals at the excellent in-house restaurant.
So, for the last 24 hours, I haven’t had to cook or clean, but I’m totally wiped out.
This is just not a state of affairs that I’m used to, and I’m wondering if I was healthier when I was unhealthy. If you know what I mean.
